    One simple thing to do:

    put 1px by 1px flash movie in first page. In this flash movie, write some actionsript that sends user to a url with flash content. Or to a url with a parameter on end of query string, like ?flash=true.

    Grab this parameter in the next page and display the flash content.

    If user doesn't have flash, you can put a meta refresh in the same page with the 1px flash movie. The meta refresh can be set at like 2 seconds. So if no flash, the meta will send to whatever page, and you can add parameter on query string like ?flash=false.

    Then grab this parameter and display your non-flash content.

    You could always just send to 2 seperate pages, one for flash and one for non.
